When I lived in Cape Town, one of my favourite ways to spend time with God was when I was taking the dog for a walk. Against the beautiful backdrop of the Durbanville hills and the Stellenbosch mountains, I would chat with the Lord and perhaps sing a song of worship to Him as I walked leisurely with my border collie. Things look a bit different in my present setting. I don't have a dog here in Spain, and arthritis in my feet has meant that I don't walk as much as I used to. Often my special times with God happen in my bedroom in the early morning - usually when I'm still in my pyjamas. I sit at my desk, with my Bible open in front of me, and one of the cats, usually Tamba, leaps up to snuggle on my lap while I'm reading my Bible, praying and writing in my journal. It's different.... but it's just another way of connecting with God.
Walking the dog, sitting with the cat, kneeling in your bedroom, lying on the sofa, sitting in the garden, walking in the park..... There are so many different possibilities. What are your still times and special places for spending time with God?
